Did everyone notice RebeccaT's new avatar? Everyone has such great ones, and when people update them, it takes me a bit to recognize you again! That got me thinking about how much I loved her Pooh avatar, and I always secretly wished that I'd found it first :o ;) because it was so darn cute. Others that I really love are Colleen's new portrait (so very cool!), Sandy's Psycho Chick (heh heh heh) and Maureen's bear/beaver. However, if I could have anyone elses avatar, it would be Jill's:

Sorry, can't figure out how to get to the original GIF...

I liked MOlli's so much when I first joined the BB that I actually STOLE IT from her :o :o
I coveted Molli's snowman, but I did PM her asking if it was OK and she kindly OK'd my theft :D :)

I love my avatar-and I think it is a beaver! At first I thought it was a bear...Whatever! I love that she is waving a Canadian flag-Thank you Lisa!!!

Jill's is adorabe too. I love so many-your latest Lisa is a riot!
Now I am blanking out on whose I really love....

love Sandy's Psycho Chick, also Jewel's Bart over the moon!:)

SandyM

I just noticed Rebecca's right now, and it's hysterical! :D

My avatar is because of Gail, because of the dish she created that I love so well, and just because. I'm not going to go into the psycho bit. :p

I like change, and I'd like to change mine at some point, but I haven't found any that feel quite as "homey" as mine.

Like you, Lisa, I tend to identify people by their avatars (Lori's swirly thing, Eva's dancing dog, Grace's blah blah blah face), so it tends to throw me when they're changed. But in a good way! :) Change is good!

I love Maureen's bear, and really, any avatar that has movement of any type has my vote. And like Debie - I really like (and miss) Jewel's . . . . . :D :D :D

I know everyone covets mine. (yeah, right.)

I have always had this one and I don't plan to get a new one. can we say BORING?

Tiger
06-25-2003, 08:16 PM
Val, don't get a new one! I know people more from their avstars than their names. I too get confused when people change them. That's why I never change mine. It's not cute or clever but it is a Tiger. and I don't want anyone to forget me............

kima
06-25-2003, 08:45 PM
Could someone explain lindrusso's new one to me??? (what's the red ball? Believe me it's me not the avatar!

I also like Grace's big smile and the blah blah line-makes it so easy to find her when scanning a thread...oops not that I don't go back and read EVERY post!!!!:D :D :p

Shirley Panek
06-25-2003, 09:11 PM
Kima -

It looks to me like lindrusso's "red thing" is a red and blue beach ball - at least that's what it looks like to me! :)

Lisa, I really like YOUR avatar. :) That happy dog makes me smile every time I see it. I've been thinking about starting an avatar thread to say how much I like yours.

06-26-2003, 05:04 AM
I love Terrytx's. It just looks so happy, dancing around like that. Makes me giggle every time I see it.

I am on the market for a new avatar, but haven't found anything that suits me. I think I am looking on the wrong websites

Lisa, I love your doggie!

Rebecca's is very cute too

newcook
06-26-2003, 08:14 AM
Oh Sneezles, I would love to have that avatar. Could I, please? Of course someone might have to tell me how.

Daniele

06-26-2003, 08:19 AM
Wow, someone likes my avatar??! <blush> :D

I've actually been thinking about changing it. I think I need a change of pace, maybe one that doesn't induce seizures. :eek:

I looooooove Lisa's happy dog.

LaraW
06-26-2003, 08:19 AM
I love Eva's dog, Lisa's dog, Stephanie's disco ball, and Erin's fan. I like everyone's but I don't know how to put my own avatar in. I put the American Flag in on Sept 11, and it has just stuck.

funnybone
06-26-2003, 08:24 AM
I sure don't covet mine as I change it constantly. I've been away for a week and the first thing I thought was that I had to change my avatar soon. I just haven't had the time.


I haven't seen Rebecca's, but will have to check it out. I did notice that sneezles has new one though. :)

Melman
06-26-2003, 08:25 AM
I also like ErinM's oscillating fan. The first time I saw it, I thought "Hey! I want that one!!" :D

KathrynY
06-26-2003, 08:34 AM
I love Eva's dog too! Val, yours suits you perfectly. Lisa always has such great avatars, and I love the fun seasonal ones that people find. I've been on the hunt for a new one for a while - just haven't found one I like yet.

Lara or Molli - is there anything in particular you'd like? I'd be happy to keep my eyes open for you. :)

LaraW
06-26-2003, 08:36 AM
Well, if you happen to see a Catbert one, that is one idea I had. I don't even know where to look for avatars.

RebeccaT
06-26-2003, 08:42 AM
<blush>

I have only been without my Pooh for a day, and I already miss him. However, I really was starting to feel like I needed a change, since I had Pooh for over a year!!

I don't feel like these cherries have quite as much personality, but since I buy cherries every week for as long as I can find them in the stores, I figured it was appropriate, at least. :o

My real reason for changing was so that I could change my signature line. I love that quote! :D

coming back to edit b/c I forgot to list whose avatars I like:
- I love Sandy's and Lisa's.
- I really used to love Lori's juggler (not that I don't like the swirly thing, Lori!), but when I finally found it I couldn't bring myself to use it because it just seemed so... Lori. :o
- I love Leigh's flower. So cute.
- MamaSue always has the best seasonal ones!
- And of course, there's always food girl - Avatar Free! :D

That's all I can think of right now!

You guys are great!

Now how do I get the picture into the right spot?

aggie94
06-26-2003, 08:51 AM
Lara,

I recall using gifworks.com to resize my image to 50x50, but I don't remember where I put it after that, in order to link to it. Maybe someone else can help....

badunnin
06-26-2003, 08:52 AM
alright - let me upload quickly....

06-26-2003, 08:56 AM
I pretty much love anyone with a dancing avatar!

I especially like Sandy's because of its BB significance. And Lisa, yours is so cute, you have no reason for avatar-envy! I also really like Melanie's new one - the "ooohhh ... aaahhh" makes it even better :)

I am so envious of all the cool avatars. I consider myself pretty computer-literate, but I still had to ask Jennifer for help with this boring one (but hey, at least it's bright and makes me pop out a little, right?) - and since I don't want to bug her again, I gave up on finding a new one. So if anyone wants to give a girl a hand ...

Molli, go to User CP up top, then choose User Options. Scroll all the way to the bottom and you'll see the spot to enter in the URL of the image you want (it has to be on the web somewhere, not on your local hard drive, and it can't be larger than 50 x50 pixels). Enter it in and it *should* work. Sometimes it takes a few tries. Good luck!

aggie94
06-26-2003, 09:07 AM
Lisa, if I resize an image using gifworks, do I then need to put the resized image on a website to link to it? I don't recall doing that for my Pochacco, but I'm not sure how else I would have done it, except linking to gifworks (and I'm not sure they let you do that).

lisas3575
06-26-2003, 09:10 AM
I'm afraid I don't know the answer, Eva. I've never used Gifworks, I do it on my own computer and upload them to my personal website. I know that Animation Factory lets you size your image and it has a URL afterwards... Perhaps someone else would know?

LaraW
06-26-2003, 09:18 AM
OK, let's see if it works

crap

LaraW
06-26-2003, 09:21 AM

Does anyone covet my avatar? ;)

I also like terry's dancin pepper!

KathrynY
06-26-2003, 09:30 AM
Yay, Lara - and we all know you're not evil ;).

Eva - I put my avatars temporarily on my work web site. I don't know if gifworks has a place for your to store them, but could you put one on your Imagestation or Ofoto account?

Kristin - I love your avatar for the reason you listed, it's so bright and cheerful. I think it would make a great design on a piece of pottery. However, if you must change ;) I'd be happy to help look.

lisas3575
06-26-2003, 09:30 AM
Great job, Lara!!! :D

slknight
06-26-2003, 09:38 AM
All right, you guys. Now I want a new one too! Any ideas?

And I covet Lisa's.

jjsooner73
06-26-2003, 09:49 AM
I resized my avatar on my computer using the photo editor that came with my scanner. Then I uploaded it to imagestation so I could use it here. I'm rather fond of it myself. :)

Kristin, I'd be glad to help you get a new avatar.

Terrytx
06-26-2003, 10:00 AM
That's just too cute Eva!!!

newcook
06-26-2003, 10:00 AM
My favorite is Terrytx's.

But now I'm really coveting the one Sneezles posted. I wonder if it would be OK for me to get that one. Sneezles are you there?

MWHAHAHAHAH!!!!:D :D :D :D :D

I was thinking I needed a change. It's not really spring officially anymore, but I think we're supposed to reach 90 for the first time today. Naturally, it's supposed to cool off some after today and have high's in the 80's again.

Leigh

colleency
06-26-2003, 10:51 AM
I like the happy ones, especially if they jump around.

I'm with the people that say they get confused when someone changes. If I'm trying to scan for a particular person's message, I just look for the avatar.

06-26-2003, 11:21 AM
Oh no, now everyone is changing theirs! It's really throwing me off!

Hmmm, for me, right now I could go for anything with the sun or beach or ocean - preferably something bright and animated. Any ideas?

keg64
06-26-2003, 11:37 AM
OMG, I go for a long lunch and everyone now looks different!! And SOOOO cute! I am forever swiping the new ones to have on hand for my website...they are the perfect size for my "year in review" index page!

06-26-2003, 12:38 PM
OK! I give up!! I've had the same lil' ol' sheep since I first earned my avatar. :) I even PM'ed Gracie, asking if I could have a sheep, since she was here before me. Maybe it is time for a new 'do.

What to get, what to get ....

JeAnne - very cute!! And appropriate, given our incredible out-of-season heat wave :rolleyes:.

Susan and Eva - love your new avatars too! Ok, now we have to find something for Kristin....

ErinM
06-26-2003, 05:48 PM
Thanks! I like my fan too! Every time I see it, I actually feelcooler!

As to the other ones I like...

I like Aggie's hamster,
Jeanne's boy w/ice cream,
Slknight's (who will soon get her swap package, I PROMISE :o )dog, and Kathryn Y's sun

Oh, and I always like Peggy C's because it's Irish!

Here is a website that you can use to find new ones:

picsearch.com (http://www.picsearch.com)

It allow you to search for very small pictures that will fit our parameters. I first found my fan on that, but didn't like that it had words on it. So, then I did a search for "fan gif", found one, and resized it.

sunberst
06-26-2003, 05:56 PM

i really liked eva's urban street dog (i miss it).

and jeanne's newest icecream one is very cute.

I loved Pochacco, but I've had him for a long time and needed a change. Plus, he danced way too fast, and sometimes gave me a headache to watch for long. :o

There was a question about where to put images to place them here. After you size an image on GIFworks (like I did with my current avitar), you can upload it to ImageStation then paste the address here.


http://www.imagestation.com/

IM frustrated because I found a GREAT pic that I want to resize, but since it is a jpeg, GIfworks wont work with it.


Isn't it beautiful?

I did a Google search and pulled up pictures of Hamtaro. It's not him. :)

So how does your DH know Hamtaro :D ?

After I looked at him one more time, I realized, nope, not Hamtaro, just a really cute hamster.

P.S. I know Hamtaro because DH and I watch way, way too much Cartoon Network and have seen commericals for the show.

This thread gave me MAJOR avatar envy and sent me on a quest to find something new. Well, like Kim, I went through the whole search thing, found a few I liked, went through the whole Image Station thing and found out I couldn't use the image because it was a .gif and NOT a .jpeg file! Bummer... check out these guys I wanted to use:

http://www.millan.net/anims/giffar/giffar2/bark.gif

It took me a while to reply to this one, but I love GRACE's avatar--it cracks me up every time I see it!
:D :D :D

And SandyM's. Don't change it, it's wonderful! :D

Mine is lame. I will eventually find a new one. And a new signature. This one was good back in April...

I had to chime in and say that I love Little Bit's dancing banana. It always makes me giggle. :)

Yes! It's supposed to be some sand, a beach ball and a pail. However, when I sized it, it doesn't show up well. I was too lazy to change it and then too busy. I was supposed to come up with a summer quote to go with the avatar, but didn't do that either.

Still hunting for a new avatar (but with little time, it isn't likely to happen any time soon!).....

Everyone's got a new avatar but meeeeee! :(

I've always loved Sneezle's avatars, and I'm amazed at where Funnybones finds hers! I love Lisa's new doggie also.

And I guess I'll stick with Bart. As you all say, you get used to a certain avatar for a certain person and recognize them on a thread by the photo next to their name...and I guess there's something comforting in knowing that when you all see Bart's naked butt you think of me! :p

LOL - it's true! Also, since you don't hang around here often, when we do see Bart, it's definitely an indication that Jewel was here! It's good to see you around!

Yes, yes, yes!!! I should have included that in my original post. I'd steal that in a heartbeat. :p

Who likes MY avatar? Ha-ha. I have no idea how to do this, although I have read a bunch of old threads. I found this one:

www.ncsu.edu/midlink/ call2002.july.htm

I think it would need to be re-sized? Not sure how to do that...

Can anyone help??

Thanks,
Terri

Thanks Cafe Latte. Yes, that is it. I went to gifworks.com and tried to paste in the address, but it said it couldn't be loaded. Any ideas?

Sorry to be so clueless.

Type this into your avatar addy and it should work fine :D

maybe it didn't like the jpg format.

try this:

ok very bizarre.

When I type the full address, it doesn't show up. When I type the rest of the address after the CL prompt, it shows up.

So Terri, when you click change avatar cl will prompt you with the beginning of the address. I think it provides http://www so you type in .greysangel.com/summer.gif and that will work. I just tested it!

Going back to ice cream man now :D

Thank you so much, Jeanne! I finally have an avatar!!! Yeah!!

Ok, I'm leaving to go out of town for a few days now (DH is FINALLY almost ready to leave :rolleyes: ).

Happy 4th, everyone.

Wow...someone "covets" my avatar?!? Thanks, Lisa. I, for one, love your little bouncing doggie! (And all the other bouncing doggies out there, too!)

I wish I could remember where I found this...I think it was on some German website with a bunch of animated GIFs.

I think of changing it every once in a while, but I like my little baking kitty! (And since I don't remember where I got it, it'd be hard to get it back!)

Beth--The easiest way to start is to use one of CL's avatars. Go to "User CP" at the top of the screen, then hit "Edit Options" then hit "Change Avatar" and then click on the one you want. It's a little more complicated if you want to take one from the web, but if you find one you want someone here will explain it to you. I'm not very good at this stuff, but I can do it, so you can too! :D

Tamawrite - when you add an avatar, it will show up on all your past posts as well, not just ones you write after you add it. It will be enough to just find an old post to see if it has worked. :)
